Aim: To evaluate the concordance between automated oscillometric measurement (WatchBP® Office ABI) of the ankle- brachial index (ABI) and the traditional measurement by eco-Doppler in a Spanish population without peripheral artery disease attended in primary care.
Methods: The ABI was determined by both methods in a general population aged ≥ 18 years, from the RICARTO study. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the concordance between both techniques and the Bland-Altman plot was determined to analyze the agreement between them.
Results: A total of 322 subjects (mean age 47.7 ± 16.0 years; 54.3% women) were included in the study. With regard to cardiovascular risk factors, 70.5% of subjects had dyslipidemia, 26.7% hypertension, 24.8% obesity, 8.4% diabetes and 25.5% were smokers. Mean ABI measured by eco-Doppler and the automated method were 1.17 ± 0.1 and 1.2 ± 0.1, respectively (mean differences - 0.03 ± 0.09; p < 0.001). The Pearson correlation coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient were in both cases 0.70.
Conclusions: The automated oscillometric measurement of ABI is a reliable and useful alternative to conventional eco-Doppler determination in the general population without peripheral artery disease attended in primary care.

To (1) assess the accuracy of the Uscom BP+ oscillometric upper-arm professional blood pressure (BP) monitor in children and adolescents as per the AAMI/ESH/ISO Universal Standard (ISO 81060-2:2018); (2) assess the suitability of a non-standard cuff; and (3) assess the impact of motion artefact on device accuracy and precision. Children and adolescents were recruited to fulfil the sex/cuff distribution criteria of the Universal Standard. Single arm sequential BP measurements were used, the test device measured on deflate with an altered child/adolescent algorithm, using three standard (Extra Small, Small Adult, Adult) and, as exploratory analysis, additionally in one non-standard cuff (Wide Range; WR) (arm circumferences: 12-17, 16-24, 22-32, 22-42 cm, respectively).

Background: An increasing number of animal studies have indicated that exposure to phthalate esters (PAEs) may cause high blood pressure. However, population-based evidence is limited, particularly for pregnant women and young children.
Objective: To examine the correlation between prenatal exposure to phthalate ester metabolites (mPAEs) and blood pressure in preschool children.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common with advanced aging and is often asymptomatic and undiagnosed.
Aim: A blood pressure (BP) monitor with embedded algorithm for detecting AF with high diagnostic accuracy during routine automated BP measurement was used to screen individuals aged ≥ 65 years.
Methods: The EMENO health survey (2013-2016) applied a multi-stage stratified random sampling method to select a random general adult population sample in Greece.

Article Synopsis
- - This paper presents a new method for accurately transferring blood pressure (BP) data from oscillometric devices into medical records, focusing on accessibility for low literacy populations, particularly during pregnancy and postpartum.
- - An automated image transcription technique was developed to capture and analyze BP readings from photos taken in mobile health (mHealth) monitoring programs in Guatemala and Georgia, involving midwives and postpartum women.
- - A deep learning model was created to enhance digit recognition from BP devices, utilizing advanced techniques like the YOLO object detection and convolutional neural networks; training experiments showed that models using transfer learning performed better than those that did not.

Background: The key to reducing the immense morbidity and mortality burdens of cardiovascular diseases is to help people keep their blood pressure (BP) at safe levels. This requires that more people with hypertension be identified, diagnosed, and given tools to lower their BP. BP monitors are critical to hypertension diagnosis and management.
